WHAT APIXABAN DENK IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Apixaban Denk contains the active substance apixaban and belongs to a
group of medicines called
anticoagulants. This medicine helps to prevent blood clots from
forming by blocking Factor Xa,
which is an important component of blood clotting.
Apixaban Denk 5 mg is used in adults:
-
to prevent a blood clot from forming in the heart in patients with an
irregular heart beat
(atrial fibrillation) and at least one additional risk factor. Blood
clots may break off and
travel to the brain and lead to a stroke or to other organs and
prevent normal blood flow to
that organ (also known as a systemic embolism). A stroke can be
life-threatening and
requires immediate medical attention.
-
to treat blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis)
and in the blood vessels
of your lungs (pulmonary embolism), and to prevent blood clots from
re-occurring in the
blood vessels of your legs and/or lungs.
